Free Teulada-Moraira beach bus service is here to stay

THE free bus between Teulada and Moraira will become a permanent feature during peak periods.

Councillors voted at the last plenary council session to continue providing the service that connects Teulada with  Moraira in the summer as well as during the local fiestas, Easter Week and All Saints Day on November 1.

Only Compromis and two non-aligned councillors voted against the proposal.

When the town hall inaugurated the free bus service in August last year, Teulada-Moraira mayor Raul Llobell said that the initiative was the local government’s response to a long-standing need.

When the service came to an end on September 15, it had been used by more than 4,000 people, Llobell revealed during the council meeting.

“The bus is here to stay,” the mayor said. “We can officially confirm that we shall be providing this service during periods of high demand.”
